Serum Review: Green Pharmacy Cactus Squalane Ultramoisturizing Face Serum

 Today's review will be for the Green Pharmacy Cactus Squalane Ultramoisturizing Face Serum

Availability: It doesn't seem like there's a reputable seller for this online, although you can get it on eBay or onebioshop.com. As you can see, I purchased this for $7.50 at my local pharmacy but it retails anywhere from $12-$25 online.

Would I buy this again?: Yes.

What is this product designed to address?

According to the box:
Using the products of this series will help to effectively address the issue of facial skin dryness, providing regeneration, moisturizing and soothing. Due to its light consistency the serum is quickly absorbed, and the wealth of active ingredients helps to improve the condition of the skin. Properties:

• moisturizing
• improving skin texture 
• soothing
• increasing skin elasticity
• reducing the signs of premature skin aging
• skin radiance
• reducing the appearance of wrinkles
• preserving skin youthfulness and elasticity 

Does it contain any special/beneficial ingredients?

Once again, from the box:

Cactus Water: Is an ideal ingredient used for both dry and oily skin. It provides very good hydration and skin toning. Thanks to a large amount of vitamins and minerals, it gives the skin moisturizing, firmness, and radiant appearance.  

Squalane: Is a vegetable ingredient extracted from olive oil, shows a wide spectrum of action on the skin, moisturizes and prevents excessive water loss. It gives the skin moistness and elasticity. 

What is the texture like?

This has a slightly viscous watery gel texture to it. It feels refreshing to apply. 

Is it scented?

This has a fresh, "green" scent to it. 

My overall experience/comments on the product:

I've been using this for several weeks out and really enjoying it. As you know the COSRX Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence has been a holy grail due to how hydrating it is, but I feel like this gives it competition. This feels refreshing and lightweight. It leaves my skin deeply hydrated without being thick or heavy which is perfect for my because my skin actually absorbs it. This also makes my skin look really supple, soft, and leaves it with a healthy glow. I've been really enjoying it so far.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
